9 Most Innovative Electronic Systems of 2010

From an “Easy Button” to a twistable 103-inch plasma, these applications were some of the best we saw incorporated into homes this year.

We see and write about hundreds of homes every year at Electronic House. There’s always a good story to tell about each of them, but naturally, some are more memorable than others. Usually, it has nothing to do with how much the homeowners spent on their electronic systems or the size or style of their house. What we drool over are those unique applications of technology that we’ve never, ever run across in our decades-plus years of covering technology for the home. Here are some of my favorites of 2010:

Lisa Montgomery has been a member of the Electronic House editorial team for nearly 20 years; most of that time as the Editor. With a knack for explaining complex high-tech topics in terms that average consumers can understand, her style of writing resonates with people who are interested in addition electronic systems to their homes, but are unsure of the steps involved and the solutions available. From basic lighting control systems to full-blown automation systems, Lisa understands the home electronics market well, and is able to point consumers in the right direction on their quest for a smarter, more convenient, efficient and enjoyable home.
Over the years, she has developed close relationships with key manufacturers and seasoned custom electronics professionals, giving her a keen sense of what home technologies are hot now and what's on the horizon. She shares this wisdom regularly through feature stories, product roundups, case studies technology spotlights and comprehensive guides and books, which can be found on the Electronic House website, www.electronichouse.com.
